San Magi

A stunningly refurbished townhouse (sleeps 4-6) with walled garden and roof terrace, near Palma's waterfront

This traditional Mallorquin townhouse in the heart of Palma has been given a cool contemporary makeover by its British owners. White walls, soft lighting and an abundance of classy decorative touches give San Magi a seriously comfy-chic feel. Highlights include the spacious bougainvillea-covered dining terrace, the modern chocolate leather lounger in the living room, the calming bedrooms and the sun-lit roof patio.

The house is set in Palma's funkiest neighbourhood and is minutes from the array of cafes, bars and bakeries that cluster on the buzzy Santa Catalina steets. The nearby famous indoor market means there is no shortage of fantastic fresh fruits, meat and fish for meals à la Magi. It's a stroll to the Cathedral, a short walk to the harbour and across the road from a small park. The location alone makes San Magi perfect for a long weekend exploring Palma with family or friends; and its sumptuous style will make you want to stay longer.
